Cynthia Prescott: Wise & Courageous
Welcome to The Wise & Courageous Podcast, where we host conversations with women leaders about how they are seeking and engaging wisdom and courage in their leadership and work in this unique season. “It took courage for me to transform myself from somebody who was comfortable in the background doing safe research to doing something much more controversial in the public eye.” — Cynthia Prescott Cynthia Prescott, Professor and Chair of the Department of History and American Indian Studies at the University of North Dakota joins Nancy Pedulla on The Wise and Courageous Podcast for a conversation about leadership. What happens when the research you are doing suddenly takes up more space in public exploration and debate? In this conversation with Cindy, opportunities to lead in the research sphere and in the university invite a new sense of identity as a leader and require growing in courage and wisdom. Cynthia Culver Prescott is Professor of History and Chair of the Department of History & American Indian Studies and of the Anthropology department. Dr. Prescott’s work focuses on gender in the American West. She combines social history and material culture methods to study the intersections of gender, race, social class, and historical memory. For the purposes of this podcast, we are defining leadership as the stewardship of people, culture and purpose, guiding and serving others toward a shared vision or outcomes. Welcome to the conversation! — Nancy Pedulla For show notes or more information please visit our article at The Well.

Tish Harrison Warren: What Grows in Weary Lands
“Stability of the heart cannot come in isolation. It comes in community. It comes with the long haul — failing and getting up again. It comes with not living a life to minimize risk, and not living a life to minimize friction. We’re not seeking ease, but to live a life that is full of resilience.” — Tish Harrison Warren Author and priest Tish Harrison Warren joins us on the podcast to talk about the ways we faithfully persevere in the middle seasons of life. When we are fatigued by the daily slog of work and chores and everyday life, how can we find the hope to persevere? Author and priest Tish Harrison Warren joins us on the podcast to discuss her recent book What Grows in Weary Lands: On Christian Resilience. In our conversation, Tish helps us to acknowledge the fact that although we will have periods in life that feel spiritually dull and arduous, we can look at ways that we can dig deeper to find the stamina we need to persist with the good work we are called to do. Through her exploration of this expansive topic, Tish encourages us to be gentle with ourselves, finding way to ease the daily burden and point us toward nourishment and joy. Also, as a bonus, Tish’s publisher has shared a chapter from her book that you can check out in our show notes, so take a look there. And if you listen to the end of the credits, you’ll hear an excerpt from our interview where Tish talks about a former editor at The Well and the profound influence she has had on Tish’s writing life. So jump right in! We're so glad you're here. — Ann Boyd For show notes or more information please visit our article at The Well.
